HA! Made you look. Really, I just pulled this one in from a long state of "ignore" as I would call it. Fortunately, it's spent it's whole life in Texas so the sheet metal is in really good condition as far as rust is concerned. I doubt if the fender tag has ever been looked at much less removed. I had to remove the AC hose just to take the picture. The strange part that I noticed is the EN2 on the top line. It only has one tag and its not even full. One question for you guys in the know. It the color in 73 B3 considered the same as "Corporate" or "Petty" blue?

Basin street is pretty much Petty blue. Code looks right.

Hamtramck plant (B in VIN) had two production lines.
EN2 means end of codes; production line two.


Seeking:

1969 St. Louis plant VINs, SPD, and VONs.
Over 2,000 thanks to you!

If it were a two tag car, you would see "CTD"
And as previously mentioned TB3 is "Petty Blue"
Also known as Super Blue on Dodge and Basin Street Blue on Plymouths starting in 1972 when it first became a traditional alpha numeric paint code, as opposed to being a special order 99 or 999 in years previous.
